Fleming is not alone. Frank Yeary, Citigroup's former head of mergers and acquisitions, left the bank last summer to become a vice chancellor at the University of California, Berkeley. Apparently, Yeary's boss at the time was a little jealous. A month later, Citi's head of investment banking, Michael Klein, left for Princeton University. Harvard has nabbed a top Wall Streeter as well: Edward Frost left the job of Goldman Sachs' head of investment management to join that school as executive vice president.

When the shooting got started, I saw it on the local news and drove up to the school. I worked about a month on the story for Salon and thought I was done. I really wanted to be done.

...Lenine Freitas, 23, the son of the union leader, lost his job at Asmo, a small motor manufacturer, one month ago, but says he plans to stay in Japan and work.

But after nine years working at Suzuki Motor Corp., he thinks that the government should continue to take responsibility for foreigners in Japan. "They have to help people to continue working in Japan," he says. "If Brazilians go home, what will...
...Last month, the government began accepting applications for 18,500 new niches - the largest supply in almost a decade - at its nine-story Diamond Hill columbarium. Though applications could be mailed or faxed in, nearly 1,000 people queued in line to submit their paperwork in person on opening day. After graphic designer Raymond Wong's father passed away in December, Wong applied for a niche at another of the city's public columbaria, but was turned away after spaces filled up. "Hopefully this time I'll find a place for my father so he can finally rest," says Wong...
